Harruh ipkg-cache

ipkg-cache is an extension to ipkg. It comes along with the following functions:

ipkg-plus: a script with the following options:
- install <package>: installs the package as ipkg-cl does but keeps copy of the original package in /opt/.ipkg-cache. If a current package is available in /opt/.ipkg-cache, this is taken for installation.
- remove-all: uninstalls all packages (useful for cleanup)
- re-install-all: runs the install procedure for all installed packages again. This might be helpful after having flashed a new software image to your ReelBox. If available, packages are installed from /opt/.ipkg-cache
S99ipkg-flash : This script goes into /opt/etc/init.d/stage10 and is fired up on every boot of the ReelBox. It checks, if a new software images has been flashed. If so, it fires up a ipkg-plus re-install-all. This way you get everything back you installed before flashing.

As of now, this only works after flashing without overwriting configuration data.

Note:

This is an experimental package. Those of you not connecting to the internet via a flatrate and don't have some ipkg experience should be careful.
